Andersonian Library

Andersonian Library is an academic library within the Curran Building, organized across five floors with thousands of study spaces and over one million print books. The building houses multiple reading areas, computer facilities, and quiet zones to accommodate different types of work and study needs.

This library began in the late 18th century from John Anderson's personal book collection and expanded significantly over time. The current Curran Building location opened in 1980, consolidating collections that had previously occupied several different university sites.

The library maintains collections of rare books and manuscripts, including texts from Agrippa Von Nettesheim and early scientific documents from the founding period.

The library extends opening hours during exam periods and provides round-the-clock access to students when exams occur. Various floors and zones offer different levels of quiet, from silent study areas to group work rooms.

The collection includes rare historical books and manuscripts from the university's founding era, featuring early scientific works spanning several centuries. These materials show the intellectual journey of the institution from its origins to modern times.
